LANsI-o, Mich, March 1.-The day
opened bright and warm as If TO extend
a hearty welcome to the chilled marrow
in the bones of the Greenbackers who
ssood on the verge of their political grave
sajting for some person 70 buy them. The
attendance was smsli. but in mind was as
loud az evsr. The delegates seemed dis
posed not 70 die at tbe dictation Of some Of
their numbers snd tie Cincinnati party
found few. very few. supporters. Chairman
Moses ". Field was nervous and kept in
the back ground a. much rs possible.
A gl.rre over the delegation showed the
conspicuous absence of many Of the old
wheel horses whose faces have always been
seen IN Greenbsck Conventions since 1876
and their absence was very noticeable for
this reason II tor no other. IL did not seem
az all like a Greenbsck Convention It
lacked the usual enthuAasn and in it's
aesd was simply a plain desire 20 gobbie
